James was born in Warwickshire in 1967 and studied at Trinity College of Music, London. After completing his degree he went to Houston, Texas to study trumpet with James Austin.
James is musical chameleon performing in bizarrely diverse mix of styles from authentic early music concerts with the 18th Century Chamber Orchestra to straight concerts with bands like the RLPO, Manchester Camerata and the world famous Black Dyke Band.
Never afraid to experiment with new challenges he also performs on the Trombone and Euphonium and his musical hero is the “Wizard of Aus” James Morrison.
